Hello
I am 21 weeks pregnant, had two not very pleasant hospital births - the midwives were lovely but I could just not relax and let go in the hospital room. both times the natural birthing centre section was full when i arrived so i had to go into the normal/usual side.
I had two natural births even though nothing felt natural about them
This time I want a more calmer and peaceful birth at home. I have been researching and practicing hypnobirthing. I actually learnt a few things for my last birth and was calm in control all the way up to 10cms but something went wrong and i lost my train of thought and teh pain hit me.
Plus the midwives were just too loud and although i know they were trying to help their comments were negative and made me nervous which in turn caused me more pain.
so i want a homebirth and be able to control the experience my way.
so what things do i need to have for it, i have a gp app next at 24 weeks but they never seem to know anything about childbirth, my mw app is 26 weeks so that s a few weeks away before i can ask all these questions.
thank you

Right DH is almost convinced about a homebirth so what do I need?
